Electric Balers for Cardboard and Plastic Waste
Reduce waste volume by up to 90%
With an electric waste compactor, you can reduce the volume of cardboard and plastic by up to 90% and minimize the number of times you need to empty the containers.
230V or 3x400V
At Mil-tek, we offer electric balers that can be plugged into a standard 230V outlet, as well as models with a 3x400V connection.
Suitable for many industries
Electric balers are ideal for stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and offices that prioritize efficient waste management and space-saving.
Low power consumption
The machines operate quietly, have low power consumption, require minimal maintenance, and operate entirely without a compressor.
Why Choose a Mil-tek Electric Baler?
Electric balers offer a modern, eco-friendly solution for compacting recyclable waste with oil-free and clean design. These machines are easy to maintain, energy-efficient, and suitable for a wide range of applications.
Their compact design, quiet operation and higher bale weights make them a versatile solution for businesses of all sizes.
All Mil-tek Electric Balers are manufactured by Mil-tek Denmark and supplied locally by Mil-tek Middle East from Jebel Ali, Dubai, with installation, training, spare parts and after-sales support available across the UAE and GCC.
3 Popular Electric Bale Presses
Mil-tek offers electric balers in several sizes, so you can find a solution that fits both your waste volume and available space. See three of our most popular models below.

Mil-tek Electric Balers
Mil-tek Electric Balers are designed to help businesses manage cardboard and plastic packaging waste more efficiently by compressing loose materials into highly dense, manageable bales, reducing waste volume by up to 90%.
All Mil-tek electric balers have a special feature called Press and Hold.
It is a constant pressure mechanism that locks the pressing plate in position after each cycle to produce denser, more stable bales while consuming no additional energy.

Key Benefits of Mil-tek Electric Balers:
- 100% oil-free operation
- Operates on standard electrical supply
- Quiet operations with Noise levels below 70 dB
- Waste volume reduction up to 90%
- Press and Hold technology maintains constant pressure
- Bale weights up to 300Kg Cardboard, and 400Kg Plastic.
- Dual-purpose machine for cardboard and plastic
- Low Maintenance and Durable Lifespan
- Single-operator use with safe and user-friendly controls
- Compliance with EN16500 (European Safety Standards)
Press and Hold Technology: Constant Pressure, Dense Bales
Every Mil-tek Electric Baler comes with the Press and Hold constant pressure mechanism, a technology that distinguishes Mil-tek electric balers from conventional balers.
After each pressing cycle, the pressing plate automatically locks in position and maintains constant pressure on the compacted material without consuming additional electricity. This sustained pressure reduces the natural tendency of compressed materials to spring back. This is particularly suitable for plastic film and stretch wrap where elastic memory is higher.
Benefits of Press and Hold Technology
- Higher bale density
- More stable, well-formed bales
- Increased recycling value
- Lower energy consumption
- Consistent compaction results across different materials

Electric vs Pneumatic vs Hydraulic Balers
All three baler technologies compress recyclable waste into manageable bales, but each suits different operational requirements. The table below explains the key differences:
| Feature | Electric Balers | Pneumatic Balers | Hydraulic Balers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Source | 220V Electricity | Compressed Air | Three-Phase Hydraulic System |
| Hydraulic Oil | None | None | Required |
| Typical Press Cycle | 40–50 Seconds | 8–20 Seconds | 40–50 Seconds |
| Energy Consumption | Low | Very Low | Higher |
| Typical Bale Weight | Cardboard: 40-300Kg Plastic: 100-400Kg |
Cardboard: 40-225Kg Plastic: 100-300Kg |
Cardboard: 100-500Kg Plastic: 100-600Kg |
| Noise Level | Below 60-70 dB | Below 70 dB | Average |
Electric balers are the most versatile choice for businesses that do not have an existing compressed air supply but require reliable, oil-free baling with higher bale weights.
Businesses with a compressed air supply and a need for faster pressing cycles should consider pneumatic balers.
Operations generating very high waste volumes requiring bales above 400 kg should consider hydraulic or horizontal baler solutions.
